The capsule, shaped like a giant Tunnock’s tea cake, has touched down amid a lot of excitement from those on board. The voice on the radio says “congratulations and welcome back to Earth”. There’s applause and cheers among the spectators. All six of the women appear to be fine. It seemed a bit of a bumpy landing to me but apparently that’s par for the course with vanity space trips.

An excerpt from the Guardian: Republican lawmaker proposes constitutional amendment allowing Trump third term Republican congressman Andy Ogles has proposed a constitutional amendment that would allow Donald Trump to serve a third term in office. The Tennessee lawmaker said he was making the proposal because he thinks Trump has done such a great job over the past few days: President Trump’s decisive leadership stands in stark contrast to the chaos, suffering, and economic decline Americans have endured over the past four years. He has proven himself to be the only figure in modern history capable of reversing our nation’s decay and restoring America to greatness, and he must be given the time necessary to accomplish that goal. To that end, I am proposing an amendment to the Constitution to revise the limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment on presidential terms. This amendment would allow President Trump to serve three terms, ensuring that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs. The amendment is written in such a way that the three other living presidents who have served two terms – Bill Clinton, George W Bush and Barack Obama – would not be eligible to run again. It is very difficult to amend the US constitution, and it remains to be seen if Ogles’s idea is to be taken seriously.
